C O N T R A C T I N G Quality Contracting 3066 Spruce Street Little Canada, MN 55117 April 21, 2008 Bill Blessner, Mayor Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator Member of the City Council City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 Dear Mayor, City Administrator and Members of the Council: I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our company and myself and provide you with some insight as to what is happening with our business in Little Canada. My name is Jay Osborn and I am the President of Quality Contracting. We combined and relocated all of our Twin Cities Metro area operations to Little Canada in 2004 and have enjoyed continued success and efficiencies by being here. Additionally, we have offices in Denver and Milwaukee. Quality Contracting is a utility -based construction company. We provide services to the likes of Xcel Energy, Comcast, CentrePoint Energy and many municipalities in the metropolitan area. We have four divisions that provide restoration, installation, locating of underground utilities and traffic control services to our customers. The company is now fifteen years old and we are happy to say that we are growing strong. I have personally been in the industry now for over twenty -five years. Doug Yetzer, Chad Loecher and myself own quality Contracting. We are all Minnesota residence whose offices are in the building on Spruce Street and we all play an active role in the day - to-day operations. Recently, we have found it necessary for additional space to house our equipment and material. The intent for the rental of the land next door is to house the equipment in the winter when it is idle, to provide overflow parking for our employees and a space for the storage of our materials in the summer. Our materials typically consist of new gas pipe and traffic signs. We take great pride in our equipment and the appearance of our yard and have a full -time dedicated employee on staff to take care of the needs of the yard and equipment. We feel being a good neighbor is something that should be expected.
